So, how long will the GOP stay on the ship with Trump at the controls?

They have to believe that is no good way to the of this? Either Trump will lose control, lose his base or they will have to force him out office? I don't see clear path for the GOP out of this! And I love it! It serves them right for all the crap they pulled in the past and the things that they are doing to the country now!

the government is in shambles, the economy is in shambles, we are isolated from the rest of the world and we become a third world country.

His behavior serves their ends: cut taxes for the rich, raise them on the middle class, gut all programs that actually help people, increase military spending, throw millions of people off any kind of health care program. From their perspective, what's not to love?

I'm sure they just wish he'd stop tweeting all sorts of nonsense, but even that doesn't seem to bother most of them.

McConnell is waiting for his GAO scoring on their ACA replacement Death Bill. That usually takes two weeks,so the vote should fall on or before the last day of this month. then they go on recess till September.

who said that once Trump's approval numbers slide into the 20's, Republicans will start jumping ship.

Will be interesting to see if he's right.

And ever.

There is no Trump AND the GOP.

They are one. Donald Trump is the quintessential Republican. With over an 80% approval rate within his party.

Think back. Think back thru the past decade and remember how many times you thought he had gone to far. Where you thought, AHA, this will doom him.

You must realize what is what. 60 miĺlion Americans voted for him, and I think would do so again today, BECAUSE HE IS JUST LIKE THEY ARE..
